I created Women Only Gyms because I couldn’t find anything like it when I needed it most.

In my forties, I decided to start my own fitness journey — but every time I looked for a gym or trainer, I found myself sifting through endless websites that didn’t really speak to me. I wanted somewhere that felt inclusive, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming — not intimidating or performance-driven. Somewhere I could just start, at my own pace.

That search led me to discover a growing number of incredible women-only fitness spaces across the UK — but there wasn’t a single place that brought them all together. So, with no background in tech and plenty of trial and error, I decided to build one.

WomenOnlyGyms.uk is a simple, community-led directory designed to help other women find gyms, studios, and trainers that make them feel supported. Whether you’re stepping into a gym for the first time, coming back after a break, or looking for a space that prioritises comfort and confidence — you’ll find a place here that understands your journey.
